Last night at the TDS Practice session, one of our regular students, Julia innocently told me it was her birthday last night. So unbeknowest to her, I formed everyone into a circle and started a birthday dance for her! It was a lot of fun, especially since the idea of the birhtday dance was really new to a lot of the students.
Julia did really well, and I was surprised by the number of brave men who came in to dance with her!
For those who don't know what a birthday dance is...
The birthday guy/girl gets into the centre of the dancefloor and dances with a line up of people waiting to dance 20-30 second intervals with them! It's a lot of fun

Hey guys,
Speaking of birthday dances, I am sad that I missed Evan's birthday dance at Peridot lounge this past Sunday. I heard he was passed one woman after the next like frisbees. I would have wanted to be a frisbee too!
Happy birthday Evan!

What's the deal, salsa people? I participated in that birthday dance and it was nice to see some of the new people get into it. Birthday dances are a lot of fun(I'll just have to make sure my next birthday dance is two songs instead of three ). Nina, when your birthday dance does happen, I'll be the first in line(after Alfred, of course). Holla back at ya boy!_________________You knooow!
